Idealliance Introduces ‘How To’ Video Library

The Alexandria, Virginia-based International Digital Enterprise Alliance, better known as Idealliance, introduces its new Idealliance Video Library.

The library is a collection of on-demand, short videos that will walk viewers step-by-step through best practices for improving workflow, process control, color quality and consistency.

The video library is free with Idealliance membership, and everyone in a member organization will have access to it.

Each video uses on-screen expert tutorial plus screen-share demos that provide step-by-step tips and instructions. For example, the video on how to create PDF/X4 print ready files will take you right into photoshop and show you exactly what to input and why for each step in the process so you can follow along and re-create them for yourself.

Each month new videos will be added to the library. Some of them available now include Adobe CC Suite Color Settings, Easy GRACoL Colorspace Verification and Pantone vs. CMYK.

“These videos solve real-world print manufacturing problems and can be used directly on the factory floor with tablets, smartphones, or workstations; no fussing around searching through outdated user manuals or work instructions which often lack specificity and process flow. Best of all, they help reduce the costs of expensive on- or off-site training, on-boarding, and improve the sustainability of production efficiencies,” says Jeff Collins, director of print technologies for Idealliance.

Members can access the library through their exclusive members resources area, which is the same place that they can download other useful tools, including data sets, ICC profiles, color targets, and workflow PDF’s.
